Yes.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am trying to figure out this $300,000 in and out from one department to another. Could I just get an explanation from the Minister, like what happens physically? Like, there is one department that has 300 that doesn’t need it but needs 15 so they get 15 then does that money physically transfer to another department?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’d like to thank the department for the Deh Cho Bridge Project Estimate Summary. I find it kind of interesting that the issue doesn’t largely seem to be one of a construction nature. It looks like the actual construction costs have only increased by about 3.7 percent as the estimates that we’re currently receiving from the department from the estimates that were originally budgeted in May of 2009 compared to the estimates from the GNWT today that takes us to the end of the project. That’s only about a 3.7 percent increase. That’s actually pretty good.

I think our...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just a question of clarification. I was wondering why the $16.205 million is for operations expenditures.

Do the amount of sites currently identified as contaminated still warrant the contaminated soils farm in Fort Resolution and Lutselk'e? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the Minister of Environment and Natural Resources questions in the area of environmental protection. In Fort Resolution the community feels there are enough sites to warrant some sort of contaminated soil from within the community. Does the Minister have data on all the sites that are contaminated within the municipal boundaries in the Northwest Territories communities? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

The community is very eager. Can the Minister commit to holding a public meeting in the community as soon as possible to discuss the project with the community, including the leadership? Thank you.

Mahsi cho, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I talked about the mini-hydro project near Lutselk’e. There are many positive implications to the project; however, that means nothing unless we get started. So I have questions for the Minister of ITI. Mr. Speaker, Lutselk’e is eager to see some actual work started. Can the Minister tell me how the government is engaging the community on this project? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just along the same area, we do have a lot of discussion about having RCMP presence in every community in the North. I think that department should actually do that evaluation, because I don’t think we can have police in every community in the Northwest Territories. They don’t man the posts by themselves and then we have communities of 50 people and then we have communities that are part of the 33 communities that were recognized across the North that are attached to other communities. Like Dettah/Ndilo would probably not get their own police force and the Hay River...

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. This is more like general comments as opposed to what we are on, but I am curious to know, I guess, just to have the Minister indicate, or the Premier, whether or not the federal government is amenable to splitting devolution discussions from resource revenue sharing.
